SYSTRAN technology embedded in the new iTranslate app, the mobile translation market leader
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Machine translation with mobile access anywhere at anytime
Paris, France - June 9, 2016 - For its brand new iTranslate app, with currently
over 5 million users monthly, Sonico chose SYSTRAN technology to offer
translation features to all travellers.
According to a new survey of 28,000 EU citizens, 9 out of 10 Europeans who
travel outside their home country limit their use of mobile services because of
roaming charges. To address this issue, Sonico partnered with SYSTRAN to offer a
fully offline translation solution.
SYSTRAN's solution is based on embedded machine translation technology, which
offers translation, dictionary lookup and conjugation checker without any
Internet connection. SYSTRAN's engineers and researchers developed innovative
techniques based on machine learning that allow huge volumes of data to be
compressed while maintaining the same level of translation quality and accuracy.
"This application is part of our strategy to bring machine translation
components in line with new platforms and uses" explains Jean Senellart, CEO of
SYSTRAN. "As the first free online translation service, we evolved with the
Internet, server platforms, big data, the cloud and smartphones and we are now
exploring new areas of machine learning research such as Deep Learning to exceed
machine capacity and better serve human needs."
These translation components are available to developers through a Linguistic
Development Kit (LDK), constantly updated by SYSTRAN's R&D engineers and that
give access to extended features of normalization, morphological and syntactic
analysis, categorization and to all the components required to build a natural
language based solution.
Alexander Marktl, CEO of iTranslate, concludes: "With SYSTRAN, we found a
partner who meets our expectations in terms of agility, reactivity, scalability
and offering the most comprehensive functional coverage. We are very excited to
combine SYSTRAN language technologies with our ability to create simple user
experiences and can't wait to show what other innovations we are already working
on for upcoming releases."
